Can't you get one from Tony? He is still in business and needs to be encouraged! www.rcs-rc.com
hmmmmmmm... I could have sworn TOC said they were not in business any longer.

The guy who bought the name in the USA is out of business.... Tony is still in business, but I don't think he makes the model you want.

Not sure what you mean by the 'model I want'. I didn't express any model. However, with that said what I want is to convert my LGB loco to battery power remote controlled.

I am friends with TOC, I know about your Heisler with RCS. TOC and I assumed you wanted the same remote, otherwise you probably would have picked something more modern and already have the electronics.
Since you are asking for one, clearly you don't have one, and the manufacturer has not supplied one, thus it must be an old model, i.e. not off the shelf.
This is not rocket science to figure out.
Good luck on finding the set, I will keep my eyes open too.

I am not set on the same RCS model or even RCS for that matter. The RCS I have with my Climax is from TOC. I purchased the Climax with it already installed from him many years ago. I asked him the other day if he could install one in my LGB Christmas loco and he said he didn't have any laying around and that RCS was out of business. Said that if I could find an RCS RX and TX it would be the easiest to install and he could do it. That's why I am asking. I personally have absolutely no knowledge or skill in installing these thingsI am friends with TOC, I know about your Heisler with RCS.

So, I am open to anything just so I can convert the loco to remote and battery power.

RCS USA is defunct. RCS the original is still going strong, although Tony went thru a cancer scare, but says he is recovered and shipping product. The website works and the exchange rate is favorable. Rcs-rc.com.

In case you are open to other systems, I have the Fosworks system on a couple of my battery powered locos.
It was 'plug and play' and has worked well for years.

I don't believe that they have anyone selling it in the US.

The key is coming up with a system that TOC (Dave Goodson) will install for Tim. There were 2 distributors/dealers/installers for the Australian RCS in the USA, Dave, and Don Sweet on the east coast, who now is a RailPro aficionado.
I'd ask TOC if you order one of the current RCS systems will he install it. He hates knobs.

Mr. Fosworks told me the system is not FCC approved so it is not available in the US.
I found my old RCS TX/RX which Dave is probably familiar with. It's the old Elite type with buttons. Let me know if you can use it.

You know, it is such a good thing I don't frequent this site any longer. Comments like that, if too many, would spike my B/P.
FM glitches? With metal-on-metal?
I've been running 27MC RCS/AU for close to 30 years. Had a tad bit of experience with all sorts of radiowave technology prior.
AM, yes, which is why the 27MC was FM. Doesn't glitch.
Don't spew unless you're REAL sure.
Sounds like the morons who tried to claim the H-Bridge wouldn't work in Phoenix. Sent it back...unopened.
Used THAT kit to do a BotchShay, sent it to Duncan, ran just fine...outside, even.
